Chapter 42 Revenge

  ————————————————

  Luost stood outside the inn where Huayun was staying with a gloomy face, behind him were hundreds of city guards from Wala City.

  As the leader of the city guard of Valan City, Viscount Harvey naturally had great power in his hands. His trusted family servant, Roast, although not serving in the city guard headquarters, was often sent by Viscount Harvey to deliver orders, and over time, Roast's influence within the city guard headquarters also became extremely great.

  Upon learning that Roast was struck by a mercenary while carrying out the Viscount Harvey's task, all the city guards rose up in unison and marched towards the inn where Hua Yun was staying under Roast's leadership. Along the way, all the city guards they met joined the army to punish Hua Yun. By the time they arrived outside the inn where Hua Yun was staying, the number of Wulan City guards following behind Roast had already reached hundreds.

  Calling so many people wasn't Roster being cautious, but rather that the majority of the city guards were only first or second-tier warriors. Even the small leaders in charge of patrolling a district usually had no more than third-tier Black Iron Warrior strength. Since Hua Yun could instantly defeat himself, a fourth-tier Copper Warrior, he was at least a fifth-tier White Silver Warrior. To prevent Hua Yun from escaping, this many people were necessary.

  With a dozen or so city guards who had reached the third stage of Black Iron Warrior, Rostein entered the inn where Huayun was staying. The several small leaders and team leaders who followed Rostein all surrounded the inn outside, they didn't want to follow Rostein in. Anyone who could defeat Rostein must have been very powerful, and they were just here to help out. If they weren't careful and got hurt by that person, they would lose big time.

  Some mercenaries who came and went on the street saw what was happening here and stood aside watching from a distance.

  Looking at Roster and the others rushing in with a fierce momentum, some mercenaries who saw the scene earlier in the hotel lobby were all secretly worried about Hua Yun in their hearts. Who else could they offend? Offending Roster was really unlucky.

  "Which room was that guy staying in just now?" Rost roared, his eyes scanning the hotel lobby, slamming his hand heavily on the counter and shouting at the hotel owner inside.

  "Lord Roast... in... the second room on the second floor!" The innkeeper looked at Roast with some alarm, secretly praying that the young man would not resist in front of Lord Roast, or else his inn would be doomed today and he wouldn't even be able to find anyone to demand compensation from.

  "Are you looking for me?" A voice suddenly came from the staircase, Huayun was standing there with a cold face, and the Ba brothers were standing behind them like iron towers.

  The hotel outside was so noisy that Hua Yun could naturally hear it. As soon as he arrived at the stairs, he saw Rostov yelling at the hotel owner, and his heart was shocked and angry at Rostov's impertinence.

  "Hmph!" Seeing Hua Yun, Luo Si sneered and didn't give him another chance to speak. He pointed at Hua Yun by the stairs with his hand and said to the dozen or so city guards beside him: "It's this little brat, take him down for me, and that guy next to him too."

  Upon hearing Rooster's words, the dozen or so city guards who were present to show their loyalty immediately drew their weapons and charged towards Hua Yun at the stairs like a pack of wolves. Although they had also heard about Hua Yun's strength, in their minds, they were the kingdom's regular army, and mercenaries would always surrender obediently, no matter how strong they were.

  If he showed his face in front of Lord Roast, he might be able to mix and become a small team leader, which was a great opportunity. For a moment, the eyes of more than a dozen city guards looking at Hua Yun were like looking at a piece of fat meat, and they couldn't wait to catch him and hand him over to Lord Roast for credit.

  "Roar!" Seeing the dozen or so city guards rushing up with weapons in hand and ferocious faces, Balu and Baku let out a loud shout. With Huayun's safety as their top priority, the two immediately rushed to her front and charged towards the dozen or so city guards, shouting loudly.

  The two leading city guards, who were most eager to show off their skills in front of Roast, were the first to be affected by Baru and Baku's sudden and intimidating momentum, causing them to slow down for a moment. In this brief moment, the twin fists of the Baru brothers had already landed on their bodies.

  The wooden stairs of the inn were only this small, but they were squeezed by so many people that the wood chips flew everywhere. The stairs were suddenly in a mess, and those ten or more city guards were crowded together. The strength of the three-stage black iron warrior was unable to be exerted, and instead, the Ba brothers at the front were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, striking down those ten or more city guards one by one.

  Upon seeing this, Roster immediately retreated from the inn and stood at the entrance, while the dozen or so city guards also retreated in disarray. Only two of the most seriously injured city guards remained lying on the stairs, wailing incessantly.

  The rest of the people in the hotel lobby who could hide all hid, and those who couldn't stuck tightly to the corners of the walls, afraid of being implicated. As small mercenaries, what they feared most were the nobles and this group of city guards who would kill without batting an eye.

  Through the hotel's gate, looking at the city guards surrounding the hotel, Hua Yun's face had a hint of cold smile, slowly walked down the stairs, and came to the front desk, while Baru and Baku, the two brothers, took out their weapons, closely following behind Hua Yun.

  "How much for the stairs?" Hua Yun turned her face and asked the trembling hotel owner behind the counter.

  "Ah, what?" The innkeeper clearly didn't understand what Huayun was saying.

  "I said, how much will it cost to fix this broken staircase!" Huayun furrowed her brow.

  "Five gold coins!" The innkeeper looked at Hua Yun strangely and asked what he meant by this.

  Hua Yun took out five gold coins from his body and placed them on the counter: "I'm really sorry, I ruined your inn's staircase!"

  "Ah, I don't want it!" The hotel owner waved his hands repeatedly. He wasn't unable to accept it, but rather didn't dare to accept it. In his heart, as long as Hua Yun left quickly, he would already be grateful.

  "It doesn't matter! This money wasn't mine to begin with, someone else will pay it back for me later!" Hua Yun smiled and then walked out of the inn under the puzzled gazes of the innkeeper and all the mercenaries in the hall.

  Looking at Rost in the crowd, looking at the hundreds of city guards surrounding the inn, Hua Yun's eyes were like sharp knives staring at Rost, with a hint of mockery on his face: "You guys really look up to me!"

  In a flash of laughter, Hua Yun's expression showed no fear or worry, her gaze swept coldly towards everyone outside the inn!
